Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 107: Dongdan has a wild field (Part )
The first quarter ended very quickly. In this kind of streetball game, due to the different foul standards, the game integrity is high, so a ten-minute game is over in just over ten minutes.

Just as both parties were drinking water and wiping their sweat, a change triggered a bigger climax.

The DJ walked to the center of the venue with a microphone and announced an exciting news.

"Dear Mr. Marbury, he has decided to play!"

"To be fair, Mr. Marbury will have each side play one quarter, and then leave the final quarter to the players to decide the winner."

After hearing DJ's words, the emotions in the audience became even more boiling, and countless voices converged into three letters: MVP.

Marbury went straight onto the court and stood in the center circle to receive cheers.

"We don't need it!" Zhao Rui immediately objected.

"If Marbury wants to speak up for Dongdan, then let him do it. There's no need to be so hypocritical."

Hua Shao was anxious: "Hei Rui, I don't want to lose."

Zhao Rui was speechless. He suddenly looked at Chen Fang who was sitting on a high place, and the latter was puzzled by his gaze.

"Chen Fang, come here!" Zhao Rui made up his mind.

"Me?" Chen Fang was surprised.

"Do you want to fight or not?" Zhao Rui just said one word.

What could Chen Fang say? This was just an entertainment match. There was no need to be so aggressive.

Zhao Rui looked at Hua Shao again. Hua Shao reacted and gritted his teeth: "If we win, each of us will get 50,000! If we lose, I will also pay 30,000."

"Hit him!" Chen Fang stood up.

Are you kidding? Who has a grudge against RMB?

Chen Fang has never received a 5 yuan appearance fee for a baseball game in his life, but he still wants to play just to break the record.

Someone immediately went to communicate with the Dongdan team, and soon the DJ took the microphone and shouted: "The challengers are very brave. They are unwilling to accept the gift and are determined to use courage and technology to try to fight against the powerful Marbury team."

"Let's cheer, ladies and gentlemen, the real game is about to begin, a battle that will go down in Sunset Dongdan's history is about to begin."

Chen Fang jumped off the court and started warming up, mainly activating his joints and muscles.

Zeng Fanri came over and asked: "Is it okay?"

"Row!"

"Pass the ball to me!" Zhao Rui said coldly.

"Ok!"

Amid the noise, Chen Fang took off his coat, revealing the short-sleeved shirt underneath.

When they saw Chen Fang walking into the stadium, Wang Tianjie and Cheng Yian's faces changed, but Yang Zheng, the real owner, said, "This is a good opportunity, just in time to deal with him!"

Thinking about the fact that they had Marbury, their mood turned from danger to safety. After all, at this moment, Marbury was the basketball king who went to the countryside to help alleviate poverty. Everyone recognized his strength and that he was capable of playing in the NBA.

The East had the ball, and as soon as Marbury received the ball, there was a huge cheer. He still felt it was not enough, and continued waving his arms, indicating that the cheers should be louder.

Zhao Rui took the initiative to rush forward. In comparison, Marbury's strength and corresponding skills were undoubtedly much stronger. Continuous dribbling and moving inside and outside forced Zhao Rui to retreat continuously. He couldn't help it and wanted to steal the ball to interfere, but was pushed away by Marbury's ball-protecting hand and had already reached the three-point line. Marbury's dribbling skills are highly aggressive. He is moving every time he dribbles, and his body is always with his hips lowered and knees bent, so that he can keep a posture that allows him to shoot at any time.

But Zhao Rui didn't react in time, and Marbury jumped up and shot the ball.

With a flick of his hand, the ball hit the iron chain of the basketball net, making a dull sound.

This type of chain-structured net is almost a standard feature of streetball, and it has all advantages except for being a useless ball.

The call became louder after it hit.

Amid the noise, Chen Fang advanced with the ball. He was not fast, but facing Yang Zheng's blockade, he suddenly accelerated and broke through. There was no one in front of him a few meters, but Chen Fang did not stop, but continued to go deep into Dongdan's inside line.

After attracting Wang Tianjie and Wu You to assist in defense, he passed the ball back out of the three-point line. Zhao Rui was already prepared, and he shot it out with his standard push shooter as soon as he received the ball.

His hand shape takes into account both range and speed. If the accuracy is good enough, the visual effect will be excellent.

The only drawback is that his shooting space is larger than others, so Zhao Rui needs a bigger breakthrough and pick-and-roll from his teammates to get rid of the opponent.

Dongdan quickly served the ball from the baseline. Perhaps it was Chen Fang's assist that made Marbury want to mark the target. He dribbled the ball continuously, broke into the basket, and passed it again.

Young was catching the pass on the perimeter and shooting with his signature standing shot.

After all, it was his basketball hoop, and the ball bounced around in it and still fell in.

After scoring the goal, Yang Zheng was very excited. Not only did he point at his opponent who was defending him, he also waved his arms vigorously at the crowd watching the game outside the field, signaling them to be more enthusiastic.

In response to him, there were various screams, especially from girls, at extremely high decibels.

He is indeed the uncrowned king of Dongdan, with strong appeal.

But the challenger was just as fast, and this streetball offense and defense happened in the blink of an eye.

Chen Fang easily passed Wu You. He would not waste his energy on cooking. He just dribbled the ball between his legs and made Wu You stiffen. Then he crossed over and cut past him from the left side.

After that, Chen Fang saw Yang coming over, so he used a very slow fake kick to trick him into jumping, then he went in beside him.

This worship caused exclamations from the whole audience. Then, thousands of people on the field saw Chen Fang make a pendulum European step, flash past Wang Tianjie's last line of defense, and make a very concealed and natural small ground shot to pass the ball to Zeng Fanri.

The latter made a standing slam dunk, putting a perfect end to this streetball-style attack.

Seeing Chen coming and going freely in the Dongdan penalty area, Marbury also became interested.

He deliberately asked his teammates to cover for him, switched defense to Zhao Rui, and went straight to Chen Fang.

The first time Chen Fang faced off against Marbury, he felt the impact immediately.

Why is it that some people are tall but don’t give you a strong sense of oppression, but even though this person is not as tall as you, you make you feel very uncomfortable.

One is the skin, the visual effect brought by this tattoo, and the other is the eyes.

But essentially, it is the dimension of the body.

For example, if you are 180cm tall and you go with someone who is 190cm tall, you will feel that the other person is very huge, and immediately feel psychologically that you cannot break through.

Why is that?
Because people are three-dimensional, with height, width and thickness, the product of these three values gives us the cubic area.

Imagine that, with the same height of 180cm, but the arm span is 10cm different and the chest circumference of the main torso is 20cm less, the resulting areas of the two people will be hugely different.

When these two people face each other, it is obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.

Chen Fang felt a huge blow, but it did not stop him from defending himself. The idea of raising his hands in surrender had never occurred to him.

Marbury's dribbling is rhythmic. He is a master of resetting his footsteps and can burst out with the power of breakthrough at any time. Chen Fang has done a good job of centering his attention, but even the slightest mistake in his footwork was immediately caught.

When breaking through, he also used his strong shoulders to push away. Chen Fang had no way of seeing Marbury rushing to the inside alone and passing the ball to Wang Tianjie.

The latter ignited the entire stadium with a one-handed sledgehammer dunk.

It was like pouring a few drops of water into a boiling oil pan, and suddenly there was a burst of cheers, shaking the whole audience.

But then, Zhao Rui extinguished the cheers with a pull-up layup under the basket.

The two teams exchanged blows and the second quarter ended quickly. The score was 36:36 and the two teams were tied.

During the break, Chen Fang took a sip of water. In this kind of game without any physical confrontation, he only sweated slightly.

What's more, he was not the main attacker, but Hei Rui, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Brother Ri, you should run more in the third quarter and hit more players." Chen Fang said when he saw this.

"it is good."

There were many activities during the halftime period. The cheerleaders maintained the enthusiasm of the audience, and the following three-point contest also continued to stimulate the audience's throats.

Marbury also participated as one of them.

10 shots, 9 made.

After all, Lao Ma has always taken good care of his sports career. It can be seen that he is just having fun and not exerting any effort.

Cheng Yian, as the host, also took the field and hit 7 shots.

But Chen Fang felt that he was a little guilty. He looked at him twice. Was he afraid of being laughed at?
The last one was Yang Zheng. He got 6 correct, but it seemed like he got them all right. He raised his hands and turned around, accepting the cheers from the audience.

Praises like “Brother Yang is awesome” are heard everywhere.

After these activities, the referee blew the whistle for the third quarter.

"Hold on, we must really play in the fourth quarter." Chen Fang reminded Zhao Rui.

But he seemed not to hear it and strode into the court.

In the third quarter, both teams still had sufficient firepower. Perhaps the three-point contest in the middle of the game gave the Dongdan team confidence, and they began to make various shots from the outside.

After Marbury's excitement wore off, he stopped showing off and started focusing on assists.

Cheng Yian and Yang Zheng each scored two, and then Wu You also made a pull-up shot from the top of the arc.

We have to mention Wu You, whom Chen Fang has always admired. He truly loves basketball and has persisted in it for twenty years. In fact, he is the soul of Dongdan. Before he was thirty years old, he had been obsessed with streetball skills. Later, he must have woken up and began to learn the guard's game skills in a down-to-earth manner. Before Chen Fang got into trouble in his previous life, he followed guard Lu and concentrated on studying.

If nothing unexpected happens, his basketball career will be very long. Perhaps thirty or forty years later, you will be surprised to find that he is still active on folk baseball courts.

On the challenging team's side, Zhao Rui returned two, but if Chen Fang didn't take action, they would lack too many firepower points.

Led by Marbury, Dongdan opened fire in the third quarter and quickly widened the score.

As soon as the third quarter was over, Zhao Rui looked at the score and his face became even darker.

48: 62.

Seeing his expression, Chen Fang quietly asked Zeng: "Why does Zhao want to win so much?"

Zeng stole a glance at Zhao Rui and whispered, "That's just his personality. He made a bet with Hua Shao that he won't take the money unless he wins."

"But didn't Master Hua say that there are also benefits if we lose?"

"Hei Rui is like this. You have to accept what he says. It has nothing to do with others."

"Ok."

As we were talking, the fourth quarter was about to begin.

The moment Zhao Rui came on the court, Chen Fang pulled him back.

"I'll vote."

"Maybe we can win." After saying that, Chen Fang blinked and ran onto the court.

Zhao Rui was left with a look of doubt on his face.

"What did you say to him?" "Nothing!" Zeng Fanri quickly denied.

In the first ball of the game, Chen Fang held the ball and faced Cheng Yian. He took a look and shot it casually.

Cheng Yian's heart sank, he turned his head to look, and when he saw that it was his destiny, he secretly exclaimed: It finally came!
Chen Fang's hit also stunned Zhao Rui and Zeng Fanri.

But they immediately thought it was a guess.

But in the next round, Yang Zheng's response three-pointer missed, and Zeng Fanri passed the ball to Chen Fang. After the latter pushed the ball across the center line, he saw that there was no one three meters in front of him, so he shot again.

As soon as the ball was thrown, there were exclamations. Thousands of spectators stretched their necks to see the result. When they saw the ball fall into the iron net again, they immediately added to their previous exclamations and shouted even louder.

Two three-pointers immediately narrowed the score to single digits.

54: 62.

Marbury passed the ball to Cheng Yian, and Chen Fang stepped forward.

But Chen Fang did not stick to it. Instead, he put it two meters away and gestured for him to throw it, indicating that he would not block it.

This provocation immediately aroused the audience's dissatisfaction and boos broke out.

But it also indirectly forced Cheng Yian to take action.

Seeing him shoot, Chen Fang shouted, "Rebound!"

Zeng took the ball steadily, and Chen Fang took the initiative to ask for the ball.

After receiving the ball, Chen Fang stopped after passing the center circle. He took two steps, trying to wait for the opponent to come forward, but this time, it was Yang Zheng who defended him.

Yang Zheng pointed to where Chen Fang was standing and made a shooting gesture.

"Huh!" A strange cry came from the sidelines, mocking and counterattacking Chen Fang's previous actions.

"Throw, throw!" someone urged, and more people followed suit.

Amid the deafening shouts, Chen Fang smiled slightly and actually took action.

At this distance, Chen Fang is really not afraid.

After the shot, Chen Fang held his shooting hand high and watched the ball fall into the basket before putting it down. He stepped back, made a pistol gesture with his fingers, and shot Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng really has a bad temper. He dares to scold anyone when he comes up. He will never hide after such a blatant provocation.

I saw him asking Wu You for the ball directly, then he came to a similar distance and looked at Chen Fang.

Chen Fang stood there with his hands on his hips, looking disdainful.

“Vote, vote, vote!” Many of Yang Zheng’s supporters shouted.

It doesn't matter if you are in a dilemma or you are ready to die, the current situation requires you to surrender.

Yang Zheng tried to shoot, but Chen Fang knew it was impossible because his shooting action was deformed due to the effort to generate force. Sure enough, he heard a wailing sound from the sidelines.

The provocation was over, and Chen Fang didn't want to go too far, so after the intermission he gave the part to Zhao Rui, who had been watching the show for a while.

The latter scored two more points with a breakthrough.

59:62.

The challenging team narrowed the gap to just 3 points.

I thought what followed was a normal confrontation, but Marbury was unwilling to be left out. He took the ball and shot from the top of the arc.

Three point hit!

This ball was like pouring gasoline into an oil barrel that was about to go out, and the atmosphere on the scene was ignited again.

Chen Fang was unmoved. He didn't want to cause trouble with Marbury because the other party was just playing around. If you take it seriously, then they will really play around.

It is unwise to mess with people of this level.

Boiling a frog in warm water is the choice of smart people.

So Chen Fang dribbled the ball and passed it to Zeng Fanri.

But the latter was double-teamed and passed the ball again. After receiving it, Chen Fang passed it to Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui took a step back, and when he saw that his opponent wasn't coming up, he took another step back.

Then he took action.

Chen Fang felt a headache when seeing this. Hei Rui’s competitive spirit was too strong.

The ball did not go in. Marbury held the ball and this time, he stopped in the center circle. He smiled and waved to Chen Fang, signaling him to come up and defend him, but Chen Fang ignored him.

So Zhao Rui went up.

Facing Zhao Rui, Marbury changed his strategy, using his body to block the opponent, then took a step back and shot again.

It's really accurate, watch the ball roll into the basket at a very fast speed.

59 to 65, the score widened again.

Chen Fang looked at the time. There were still three minutes left.

It’s not clear whether there will be a countdown, but at this point, since we’ve already made the move, let’s just keep going.

Zhao Rui tried to break through continuously, but was double-teamed. Finally, he forced a layup but was blocked by Wang Tianjie.

The ball flew out directly and was caught by Chen Fang first.

Because there was time for attack, Chen Fang jumped up on the spot and shot a three-pointer.

This three-point jump shot shocked many people.

Because this is really exaggerated.

Such a long jump shot means a lot in itself.

When they saw the ball hit again, some spectators began to change their stance and applauded and cheered.

The New York Rock Park gene in Marbury's blood began to react. He asked his men to disperse, dribbled the ball through the center circle alone, and made a jump shot right in front of Chen Fang to make the score back to 6 points.

A very classic scene gradually overlaps with this moment.

NBA All-Star Game, McGrady and Arenas compete against each other.

Chen Fang also had a vaguely similar illusion, and he felt the need to respond to this feeling.

So Chen Fang dribbled the ball slowly, then stopped in the center circle and made a push shot. He was not completely sure, but it didn't matter, because he wanted the courage to compete.

When they saw the ball fly so far and hit the basket accurately, the whole stadium really exploded. On the sidelines, in the stands, and outside the barbed wire, countless people were cheering and cheering.

Even Marbury covered his bald head in amazement to express his surprise.

Being amazed does not mean giving up. Marbury paused in the middle circle while dribbling the ball. This signal quickly caught people’s attention. The whole audience was shouting, “Shoot one, shoot one!”

Now the two teams are completely loose and it has become a shooting show, but this is streetball, the rhythm cannot be interrupted, the morale cannot drop, the plot must continue, and we must go on.

Amid the calls from the entire court, Marbury took the shot.

It can be seen that he put all his strength into this shot, and the basketball flew towards the basket amid everyone's expectations.

"Ding!" It hit the front frame and bounced up.

"Oh my!" Even Chen Fang felt it was a pity and was exaggerating his regret.

He took the initiative to run over and extended his hand to express his condolences.

Marbury also got into the mood and approved of Chen Fang's action. The two of them clasped their fists and bumped shoulders in the American way, then gave each other a brief hug.

"I'm your fan." Chen Fang said in English.

"Thank you, your performance was amazing!" Marbury was very happy.

"I have a suggestion. Let's go down together and let them resolve their grudge themselves." Chen Fang suggested.

"Good idea!" Marbury acted on impulse. He felt that if he lost, it would be embarrassing, but if he played hard, it would be even more embarrassing.

The steps that were placed came at just the right time.

The fate of the two people gave Zhao Rui an opportunity to win. He had rested long enough and was now full of energy.

Off the court, Marbury pulled Chen Fang to sit next to him, and the two spoke in English. At this moment, Chen Fang's spoken English was close to normal standards with the help of Jet and Enzo.

When they learned that Chen Fang was on the national youth team, they were about to go abroad for a warm-up match.

Marbury was very surprised. He directly said that if he was free, Jingyu could find him, and he thought the World Youth Championship was a good stage to show his talent.

Chen Fang also expressed that he is pursuing his dream and wants to go to the United States.

The two exchanged phone numbers. For Chen Fang, today's gains exceeded his expectations.

The whistle blew, there were groans, and the challenger won the match.

Marbury pointed at Zhao Rui and said, "He is also very good and will definitely be able to join the national team in the future."

"And you may have a chance to try to impact. Good luck."

The challenger gets what he wants and leaves immediately. This is the golden rule when playing away games. There is no need to rub salt into the wound.

Sitting in the MPV business car, the atmosphere inside the car was a little silent.

"Why is it so accurate?" Zeng Fanri asked the question on behalf of Zhao Rui.

Chen Fang’s answer was simple.

"As for me, I was selected into the national youth team by Coach Fan because of my three-point shooting skills."

This truth made the three of them feel uneasy even when they returned to the dormitory.

Before parting, Zhao Rui hesitated for a moment, then he stopped and said to Chen Fang, "Send me the account number later. Also, thank you for this time."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away, disappearing from sight at a very fast pace.

"He is like this, cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Don't mind it." Zeng said.

"pretty good."

"What?"

"I say, it's great to make money!" Chen Fang laughed and walked into the house.

Next up is the cross-server challenge, and Chen Fang is enjoying the anticipation.
